World’s Largest Tepee

Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, the Saamis Tepee is a tribute to Canada’s native heritage. Built entirely of steel with a concrete foundation, the tepee is ringed with 10 large circular story-boards depicting aspects of native culture and history. Below the Tepee is the scenic Seven Persons coulee, one of the Northern Plains Saamis archaeological sites.

To get your passport stamped visit the Visitor Information Centre (Trans Canada Hwy #1, Tepee Exit) or the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre (First Street SE) downtown Medicine Hat.
